This Group, what more do we need ?

I was thinking about community the other day, and wondering what would be
the holy grail for a developer in need. I mean, we do get help here, but its
done on a best endeavours basis and its really really good most of the time.

What Ideally would you guys like to see in the perfect community site which
would help you out?

OHM,
Umm, trick question right?

I would say the internet as a whole.

In addition to these newsgroups, there are http://msdn.microsoft.com &
http://www.google.com, as well as any number of other web sites, such as
google.com, martinfowler.co m, refactoring.com , asp.net, windowsforms.ne t to
name just a few. Then there are the numerous blogs available...

Just a thought

What though would constitute a perfect service for you which give you
everything you need and how much would you be willing to pay ?

I never know what I'm going to need next. Given all the free resources on
the internet, I can't say I'd be willing to pay, when I just have to search
a little. A service that had "everything " would require some searching
anyway.

Just my two bits.

the holy grail for a developer in need. I mean, we do get help here, but

It would be nice to only have to refer to 1 web site, instead of having
to hunt high and low through different web sites, FAQ's and newsgroups. Not
that *that* would ever happen. But on what you have just said, that's not
"techinical ly" correct, have you ever tried the DirectX newsgroups? My
appologies for any offence caused to anyone, but they are leagues below this
one!

Now what *would* be nice is a site used as much as Planet Source Code
but with more grown up code and it actually being reviewed before it's put
on the site. PSC is a great site but lacks credibility because it's for
"newbs" (fekkin hate that phrase!). So yeah, anyway, just my opinion!
Maybe an archive of all the good resources maybe?!? Or an app that links to
a site and allows you to search for and download examples, including
Win32(now that would be cool)!

Nick,

What is wrong at MSDN at the moment, I know there where times that I could
not find anything there.

At the moment I use seldom anything else than MSDN

The problem is searching in the huge amount of information, however that
will in my opinion with every complete site.

(Did you see that nice SQL part they have added lately)
